Mocksters don't know, but when it came to SMU receiver Courtland Sutton, they had an ally in John Elway.

"With Moore (6'0") and Ridley (189 pounds) checking in undersized in some way, Sutton's prototypical size (6'3" and 218 pounds) makes him the best fit to play an outside wide receiver role in this draft class.

Sutton was the Broncos' second pick in the draft, following outside linebacker Bradley Chubb, the fifth overall pick. "I definitely am appreciative to be a part of this winning culture".

"We did, " Elway said. While some pegged him as a first-round pick, others questioned his speed and route running and perceived him as a likely second rounder. We were kind of sitting on our hands and hoping he would get there. "But it wasn't a concern when we took him".

And a high ceiling so that's what we're excited about.

"I loved playing safety, but I feel like in my heart I was a true receiver", Sutton said.

In his junior and senior seasons at SMU - the same college Sanders attended from 2006-09 - Sutton had 76 and 68 catches for 1,246 and 1,085 yards and 10 and 12 touchdowns. "He has those traits". Freeman tested as an above-par 59th-percentile SPARQ athlete in Indy with 4.54 speed and a 6.90 three-cone time. "So he's great in short yardage and will hopefully break a run or two". "And on the half-and-half balls, he wins a lot of those".
